At age 17, Trainor won the worldwide Sonicbids 2011 Tennessee Concerts Song Contest with her song "You're Good With Me." She also attended the Durango Songwriter's Expo and Big Al Anderson of NRBQ introduced her to Carla Wallace of Big Yellow Dog Music. Trainor signed as a songwriter with Big Yellow Dog Music shortly after her 18th birthday, while she was still in high school. In 2011, Trainor wrote and self-released two albums, I'll Sing With You and Only 17. She went on several writing trips to Los Angeles, New York City, and Nashville. She settled in Nashville full-time when she was 19. She has had songwriting cuts with Rascal Flatts, Sabrina Carpenter, R5, and many others.
On one of Trainor's writing trips, she met and wrote with Grammy-nominated producer Kevin Kadish. They wrote "All About That Bass" in 2014, and her publishing company told her that many artists might be interested in recording the song. L.A. Reid heard Trainor's own demo of the song and signed her to Epic Records, where she was able to release the song as a solo artist. "All About That Bass" has since become her first #1 single on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, and has topped charts in various other countries including Australia, Canada, Denmark and New Zealand. On September 28, 2014, the UK's Official Charts Company confirmed that "All About That Bass" made chart history in the UK by becoming the first act to officially enter the Official Singles Chart Top 40 based on streams alone. The song then remained at the top of the UK chart for four weeks, becoming the longest-running number one by a female act in 2014.
Trainor's debut EP "Title", was released in September 2014. It debuted on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, peaking at number fifteen.It peaked at number seventeen on the Canadian Albums Chart. "Dear Future Husband" was originally announced as the second single in an interview with PopJustice; however, in an interview with MTV, Trainor revealed that she had chosen "Title" as the second single instead. The song was canceled as a single, but peaked at number 9 on the New Zealand Singles Chart. Meghan Trainor was nominated for an American Music Award in 2014 for New Artist of the Year.
On October 21, 2014, Trainor released the single "Lips Are Movin" to contemporary hit radio stations as the lead single from her upcoming third studio album "Title", which is set to be released on January 13, 2015.
In late 2014, Trainor announced her first-ever headlining tour That Bass Tour, which is scheduled to begin on February 11, 2015 in Vancouver, Canada and end on March 20, 2015 in Nashville, Tennessee. Trainor's fans have since adopted the collective, "Megatrons". Trainor received two nominations at the 57th Grammy Awards: Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
Christmas Got Me Blue
Meghan Trainor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Singing along to Christmas carols all alone
Let the fire keep me warm
'Cause you ain't comin' home
Ever since you left, my broken heart is so cold
All I want is Christmas Eve with you
And I should be wrapping gifts for you
Instead, I'm lonely
And I got all my decorations
I sent you an invitation
But I don't think I'll be seeing you
Christmas got me blue
Christmas got me blue
Waiting for reindeer on the rooftop all night long, oh
Hoping that Santa brings me what I really want
Whoa, let the fire keep me warm
'Cause you ain't comin' home (whoa)
Ever since you left, my broken heart is so cold
Baby, all I want is Christmas Eve with you
But you don't want me
And I should be wrapping gifts for you
Instead, I'm lonely
And I got all my decorations
I sent you an invitation
But I don't think I'll be seeing you
Christmas got me blue
'Cause Christmas got me blue
What do you want from me? I'll give it you
'Cause I can't stand this Christmas without you
And why don't you love me the way that I love you?
Baby, all I want is Christmas Eve with you
But you don't want me
And I should be wrapping gifts for you
Instead, I'm lonely
'Cause I got all my decorations
I sent you an invitation
But I don't think I'll be seeing you
Christmas got me blue
'Cause Christmas got me blue
'Cause I been missin' you
The song "Christmas Got Me Blue" by Meghan Trainor is a poignant and melancholic holiday-themed ballad. The lyrics depict a lonely person who is struggling to cope with the absence of a loved one during the Christmas season. The song's protagonist is shown to be going through the motions of the holiday season - decorating a tree, lighting candles, and singing carols, but feels unhappy and desolate without their significant other. The verses talk about the pain of a broken heart and the longing to be with the person who left them, especially during the festive season. The chorus emphasizes this sentiment, where the singer expresses her desire to have her partner back and share Christmas Eve with her. Despite sending an invitation to her loved one, it appears that they won't be making an appearance, leading to the singer feeling blue.
The song's message is relatable, especially for people who find the holiday season challenging due to the absence of people they love. The songwriters have done an excellent job of incorporating Christmas imagery and feelings of loneliness to create a fitting atmosphere for the song. Trainor's vocals add an emotional touch, capturing the mood and the pain of the singer.
